Chef Harry Whelan spends most of the year traveling from country to country, learning new dishes. He always comes home to San Francisco, to his friends and family, including Dix Alexander and the boy Dix raised, Nicholas.

Harry returns from his latest wanderings to find that Nicholas has gone from shy and sullen teenager, to a confident, attractive young man. They discover a mutual love of the dishes of Provence and the town where Nicholas was born and Harry spent a very happy year, Saignon. Harry and Nicholas begin a passionate affair, but Harry is convinced he can never compete with Nicholas’s idolizing of Dix anymore than he can stop his own need to wander.

They’re both searching for home, whether Provence or San Francisco, but maybe they just need to find it in each other.
